Opportunities for development of robust nature in Netherlands.
Abstract
The government wants a robust and versatile nature that can endure the influence of society. This nature should be adapted to the changing climate, release natural processes as much as possible, consist of sustainable and affordable management, and contain achievable goals. Hence, robust and versatile nature can resist human disturbance and fulfil many ecosystem services. But what is robust, future-proof, versatile, self-reliant, resilient nature exactly? This report aims to clarify the above ideas presented in the Dutch nature vision. To do so, we search for criteria and promising locations to develop robust nature.
